EURANDOM Workshop on
"Exotic option pricing under advanced Lévy models"
EURANDOM, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
May 3 and 4, 2004.
http://www.eurandom.nl/workshops/2004/Exotic%20pricing/exotic_pricing.htm
Summary
In recent years more and more attention has been given to stochastic
models of financial markets which depart from the traditional
Black-Scholes model; that is to say both in academia and financial
institutions alike. In particular focus has been placed on modelling
risky assets with semi-martingales. For example Lévy process based
models are able to take into account different important stylised
features of financial time series. The consequence of working with more
advanced stochastic models forces a number of new mathematical
challenges with respect to exotic derivatives. Exotic derivatives are
gaining increasing importance as financial instruments and are traded
nowadays in large quantities in over the counter markets. Examples of
these exotic options are lookback, barrier, Asian, Parisian, Bermudian,
Russian, Israeli, Passport, Cliquet, digital, swing, corridor, Variance
Swap options etc. Moreover these instruments are finding their way into
other businesses like the (re-)insurance; for example catastrophe
options, weather derivatives and energy derivatives are useful in
handling different kinds of risk.
Mathematical issues at stake include: multiple inverse Fourier transform
techniques, issues of smooth and continuous pasting in free boundary and
optimal stopping problems, extracting overshoot distributions from
Wiener-Hopf factorisations, characterizing distributions of functionals
of Levy processes, wavelet and other sub-basis methods for American-type
option pricing, Monte-Carlo simulations and other numerical techniques.
This workshop aims to bring people together from both industry and
academia to overview recent results, discuss imminent problems and
motivate new research.

Title: "A NEOCLASSICAL VIEW OF BEHAVIORAL FINANCE AND THE CLOSED
END FUND PUZZLE-IMPLICATIONS FOR ASSET MANAGEMENT"
Abstract:
"There is a rising interest in the use of anomalies and
behavioral finance
in asset management. Some of the results from this work are of
potential
value and much is not. Of most value are the empirical findings
when they
are properly understood and interpreted. Of least value are the
'behavioral
explanations'. Without a solid neoclassical financial basis for
an anomaly,
trading on the basis of it is perilous."

Subject: ACE News Notes (December)
(...)
In case you are interested, I have just released online the December
2003 news notes on agent-based computational economics (ACE). ACE
is the computational study of economies modelled as evolving systems
of autonomous interacting agents with learning capabilities. The
December 2003 ACE news notes can be accessed at
http://www.econ.iastate.edu/tesfatsi/ace1203.htm
These notes include announcements regarding books, journals,
software, and websites that might be of interest to ACE researchers
in particular and to computational social science researchers in
general. The notes are also archived (along with all past
distributed ACE news notes) at the ACE website at
http://www.econ.iastate.edu/tesfatsi/ace.htm

From David G. Hobson <dgh(a)maths.bath.ac.uk>
Dear Colleague;
In 2005 the Isaac Newton Institute is holding a six-month programme on
Developments in Quantitative Finance: see
http://www.newton.cam.ac.uk/programs/DQF/index.html
The aim of this programme is to promote research in quantitative finance
and to gather together leaders from all related disciplines including
mathematicians, economists and industry professionals, so that they can
share their knowledge and advance their understanding.
There is already a preliminary schedule for programme (follow links for
the above or see http://www.bath.ac.uk/~masdgh/INI/timetable.html).
This schedule
is based around a series of events on various themes from accross
mathematics, economics and finance.
There is also a mailing list which those interested in participating in
one of the components of the programme are encouraged to join.
